The replay potential is crazy, I don’t remember the last time I listened to a song so many times without getting tired of it. Also watching lots of reactions and so far everyone loves it (including mr Fantano)

Lol. Is a hit and everywhere 

I don’t think it will be in the US but could be wrong.

It’s so weird to me. The song is pretty catchy but then again so hard to listen to cause it’s so boring and the lyrics are just bad :laughga: also the production is kinda flat, there isn’t much meat to it.. I listened back to back Allie X „black eye“ which is such a banger production wise, and has a clear point of view imo

This is exactly how I feel. It's such a technically great song, but the production is way more interesting than the topline melody, which sounds like something I might be able to come up with while I'm doing laundry.

Also really disappointed in the lyrics. I thought the "Houdini" theme would be incorporated in a far more interesting and clever way, but it feels so shoehorned in. I think this was a major missed opportunity to talk about something more unique/deeper than the surface level "Girl in the club, can the guy get her?" story they went with.

I know it's a pop song and a lead single, but still, there wasn't anything more meaty they wanted to talk about with a duality/ephemerality theme? Couldn't have added a little more umph into the chorus? Added a bridge?

Really anything to spice this up – again, it's bewildering how such a technically well-done song feels so underwhelming and predictable. But somehow that hasn't stopped me from listening to it or humming it lol Go figure.

Cool song and I like it but idk maybe I expected something different and it's more of the same. This sounds like a single she'd release to promote Future Nostalgia re-issue along with the few tracks we got. And then with that Barbie song. She still teased Houdini with "Miss me?" Like girl when did you leave. :yennefer:

I was pretty ambivalent upon release but I can’t stop replaying it :saladga: it for sure has been a grower, but I do think the production carries it more than anything. Looking forward to when I’m out dancing and it comes on :pawsup:
